Taliban’s Media Restrictions Aim to Erase Women

The collapse of the Republic of Afghanistan and the subsequent takeover by the Taliban have had severe political and social consequences for the citizens and independent civil society groups in the country. The Taliban’s policies have led to the closure of civic space and a reversal of the progress made in the past two decades, particularly in terms of women’s rights and press freedoms. This report, which was originally published in Dari/Farsi, and has since been updated, aims to examine the situation of women journalists in Afghanistan from 2020 to the present day, shedding light on the challenges and threats they face under the Taliban’s regime.
